Emmerdale fans are buzzing with speculation — and it’s not just about Gabby Thomas’ crash dieting. Following a near-fatal car incident, a fragile engagement, and a hidden romantic secret, it seems Gabby may be hiding something even bigger: a potential pregnancy. Meanwhile, her fiancé Vinnie Dingle is secretly questioning his sexuality after a close moment with Cammy Hadik — a truth Gabby knows nothing about.
Since her debut in 2016, Rosie Bentham has carried Gabby through some of the village’s most explosive plotlines. From a shock pregnancy with Jamie Tate to messy family feuds, Gabby has always portrayed strength, even when life knocked her sideways. But this time, it’s her obsession with perfection that’s unraveling everything.
In Thursday’s episode, Gabby was laser-focused on pulling off the “perfect” wedding. She pushed herself into an extreme crash diet after realizing her dress didn’t fit — a small moment that spiraled into a dangerous choice. Actress Rosie Bentham explained it best: “She just kind of woke up out the blue and tried on her engagement dress and couldn’t fit into it. That clearly touched a nerve.” Gabby’s desperation to control her appearance, especially after a rocky history with men, fueled a choice that nearly killed her and Sarah Sugden in a car crash.
But that’s not the only secret floating around the Dales.
Unbeknownst to Gabby, Vinnie is grappling with something far more personal. Viewers were stunned when he nearly kissed Cammy Hadik — a moment that left him confused, reflective, and increasingly withdrawn from Gabby. Though he still insists he loves her, it’s clear he’s unsure of what that love means anymore. His mixed feelings are starting to weigh heavily on their already shaky relationship.
Now, a new twist is sending fans into theory overdrive.
Multiple Emmerdale fan pages have exploded with speculation that Gabby may be pregnant again. Some viewers have pointed to her crash dieting and unexplained weight worries as potential signs. “I think Gabby’s pregnant — the dress not fitting might not just be the reason for her crash diet,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Maybe she doesn’t even know yet.”
The possibility of pregnancy couldn’t come at a worse time. Gabby has just survived a terrifying medical scare, and Vinnie — already nervous about becoming a stepfather to her son Thomas — may not be ready to face fatherhood again, especially as he navigates a possible identity crisis. If Gabby is pregnant, how long can the secret stay hidden?
And more importantly — what happens when Vinnie’s truth collides with Gabby’s?
With secrets stacking higher by the day, Emmerdale is setting the stage for a major emotional reckoning. Will Gabby’s dreams of a picture-perfect family fall apart before they’ve even begun? Or is this the beginning of a brand-new chapter neither of them is ready for?
